    Excellence Simplified

    From the moment we attended our friend's beautifully orchestrated wedding and saw Carmen in action as the officiant, we were confident she was the one we wanted for our special day. The decision became even more apparent when we first spoke with her; Carmen’s warmth and unwavering professionalism confirmed our choice.

    Carmen was nothing short of exceptional in her role. She expertly guided us through each stage of the planning process with reassuring expertise and a keen attention to detail. Her flexibility in accommodating our budget constraints and her skill in choosing the perfect location significantly eased our stress.

    Thanks to Carmen, our wedding was a dream come true. Her compassionate approach and seasoned professionalism made our day memorable and deeply personal. We are endlessly grateful to Carmen for her outstanding dedication. We sincerely hope she continues to bring joy and beautiful beginnings to many more couples.

    With heartfelt thanks,
    Nene & Daniel

    Officiant Carmen George's reply:

    I am happy your wedding was as you dreamed.
    All the best to you and Nene.

    Easy, Fun, Well Priced

    Carmen is so easy to get along with, made us feel at ease and was very prepared. We reached out only a few days in advance and she made it happen, explained the process clearly, and even made time to discuss our wants/needs before hand. Day of was perfect, she had great recommendations on locations on her site and we honestly could not have asked for a more perfect experience thanks to her. If you are looking for someone in the Burlington area, she absolutely the right choice.

    Really Wonderful...

    We chose Carmen to officiate at our wedding based on her rave reviews, and she deserves every one of them! Carmen took time with me initially to discuss the day in general, and then with the two of us to run through the details as the day approached. We drove up from out of state, and she knew Vermont’s process and answered every nervous email I sent within minutes. And she was always so kind, and calming, and happy for us.

    We chose the elopement package, and I truly could not have asked for a more perfect wedding. My husband recorded it with his phone, and I tear up every time I listen to the beautiful things she said. The bouquet she made is gorgeous. I opted for silk flowers, because I asked for peonies and we got married in March, and it’s so lovely. After the ceremony, she took lots of pictures in different areas of the chapel and outside. I felt so at ease, and while I’m usually not happy with the way I look in photos, I cannot believe how much I love them!

    I married the man I love with all of my heart, so it would have been a wonderful day regardless. But it was absolutely perfect, and we owe most of it to Carmen. She was made for this. Thank you so much for everything!

    Officiant Carmen George's reply:

    Eileen,
    It means so much to me that you felt supported and cared about while you prepared and experienced your wedding day. You are a beautiful person and I wish you tremendous happiness with your husband.
    Much love,
    Carmen

    Carmen George is the BEST!

    We chose Carmen as our officiant and photographer for our recent wedding at the Sterling Ridge Resort. She far exceeded our expectations in both capacities. Our ceremony was intimate, and very meaningful. She learned our vibe as a couple, included our small group of family and friends, and most importantly she truly cares.

    Our photographs are beautiful and filled with emotion. She captured the surrounding landscape, our love for one another, and the joy and friendship of our guests.

    I highly recommend using Carmen for you wedding.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Carmen was the perfect fit to officiate our wedding! She put us at ease and made us feel so comfortable. She truly makes you feel so special as a couple during the ceremony and in communications leading up. She was quick to respond and help in any way possible. Her added knowledge of florals and photography was extremely helpful, especially during our rehearsal. She gave so many tips and tricks and made sure everyone felt confident for the wedding day. She added little personal touches into the ceremony that she had learned during our several conversations leading up to the big day. She included all the guests in the ceremony and guided us through a beautiful ceremony.
    We highly recommend her and know she will make your ceremony memorable and perfect!

    She acts like family

    Carmen George was recommended to me by the hotel of Vermont as a photographer for my proposal. After filling out an inquiry on her website she quickly responded back. She worked with me on a few ideas i had for the proposal location and plan. Right away I could tell she was a professional. Not only that but she has a genuine desire for this moment to go flawlessly for us. She even went to the proposal location 4 weeks in advance to scope it out. This included asking two people to do a mock proposal at the location so i could get an idea of what it would look like. (It was a beautiful shot and location). As we got closer to the date Carmen offered to cancel her plans the day after incase we got rain on the day of the planned proposal! Luckily we didn’t have to do this. Finally, as i walked to our spot with my special someone for the big question i thought she didn’t show up since she was no where to be found. I knew i had to continue with the proposal even so. Shortly after saying my speach and getting down in one knee she appeared from the bushes in a nice camouflage dress. I will end this review here because it is getting too long but hope that anyone who has read this gets the idea that Carmen is the one you want to hire for your special moment. Thank you

    Best ever was available and flexible

    we hired her for our Wedding a week before the wedding because our officant canceled and she was amazing with planning and set up plus she takes wonder pictures

    Officiant Carmen George's reply:

    Hi Yessinia,

    Glad I could help make for a joyful moment during this pandemic.
    I wish you both lots of happiness and love.

    A true renaissance woman

    Carmen is an amazing officiant and florist! Her enthusiasm for weddings is infectious. She was able to create the perfect arrangements for our winter wedding. Being from out of state, I was concerned we wouldn’t be able to get across the look we wanted from phone and email conversations but Carmen was able create the most beautiful arrangements that were even more perfect than I could have imagined. Her thoughtfulness and passion for her work shined though. Her flowers stood out and complimented our decorations well!

    As our officiant, Carmen walked us through the entire ceremony and made every step completely stress free. We had many compliments on how personal our ceremony was. The ceremony felt very natural and she laughed along with us as our nieces and nephews were running around. Carmen kept things light, fun and made us feel very special on our wedding day! She really took the time to get to know us as a couple to make the ceremony all the more intimate. She even captured a few photos for us before the ceremony and they are some of our favorites!

    Excellent as all she does

    Carmen did the officiating and the flowers at my daughters wedding in September 2019. The ceremony was perfect and we could not have been happier with the beautiful flowers.
    I hope to be able to upload some of the photos soon. My words won’t do the flowers justice.

    Wonderful!

    Carmen is incredible! She was our officiant as well as our florist for our wedding. Having one less vendor to communicate with throughout the planning stage was very helpful.
    Carmen made our ceremony so personalized and special. She truly paid attention to who we are and what is important to us and put it into words. She has a light hearted and easy personality, but is also professional and detail oriented- she didn’t miss a thing! Our families were so impressed with how much Carmen felt like a part of the family the first time they all met her! Carmen took time to acknowledge each person (and remember all their names!) in our wedding party, including our parents, which was so impressive. We cannot say enough great things about Carmen!
    Our flowers were also so perfectly “us.” We had some unique ideas for our flowers and Carmen was not phased by it and did not try to talk us into a different direction. She was genuinely excited about the challenge and the results were amazing! Carmen did our centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, and accommodated a last minute request for succulents for our cake. You could tell that each piece had such care and attention. We received many compliments about our flowers. We highly recommend Carmen as an officiant and a florist!

    Officiant Carmen George's reply:

    Congratulations Stephanie and Michael.
    I am so glad everything was as you had hoped. Your words made my day. Thank you!
    Much love,

    Officiant and Photography Service

    Carmen officiated/photographed a small family wedding for my husband and I over the weekend and we could not have been more pleased with her. Vermont was having record breaking heat (along with most of the country) and we wanted to have our ceremony outside overlooking the mountains and Carmen braved the heat and all the mountain bugs that were around the property as we took pictures. The air bnb we rented didn't have air either so no break from the heat there. Despite all of this Carmen had a great attitude, and was very personable and professional. We are very impressed with the photos she took, that she got to us by midnight on the day of the ceremony! We, along with our families, would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in the area.

    Carmen made our elopement extra special! From our first conversation she made us feel at ease. We weren't sure what to expect when trying to iron out all of the details. Carmen gave great ideas and helped everything come together! The bouquet was lovely and the photos look amazing!!! Can't thank her enough.

    Calm, fun, and personal, exactly what you want in a Justice of the Peace

    We recently moved to Vermont and were seeking a local JP to marry us. After interviewing Carmen on the phone and hearing how enthusiastic she was about our various ceremony elements, including a Thai water blessing, we knew Carmen was the right choice. We met with Carmen a few more times and spoke on the phone leading up to the wedding. It is apparent how much she loves what she does, her fun attitude and energy made all our ceremony planning go smoothly. She gave us a draft before the wedding to look over, and was happy to adapt to our feedback. She helped direct our wedding party at our rehearsal, making sure people knew what to do and how to position/move from a photographer perspective. Her words during the ceremony were heartfelt and meaningful.

    Here is a video of our ceremony - https://vimeo.com/344221206

    Officiant Carmen George's reply:

    Laksamee,
    Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge me with your kind words. It means a lot that you were happy with the ceremony. I fell in love with the two of you in the preparation process and got emotional during your ceremony. I am so happy you found such a nice match in Clint and that you have many wonderful people in your lives.

    Best,
    Carmen

    Beautiful Ceremony

    Carmen officiated our wedding and it was everything we had hoped for and more. She read a beautiful poem and made it personal. She was always professional and responded to emails in a timely manor. She also did our flowers and they were exactly what I was looking for. Carmen was a pleasure to work with.
